What the petition asks
There are EU citizens living and/or working already in the UK.We as a nation cannot wait for the EU to decide their fate as the unknown causes fear.
This is a chance for the UK to protect all EU citizens here and then look to the EU to follow suit with UK citizens living and/or working in the EU.
This is a chance for the UK to protect all EU citizens here and then look to the EU to follow suit with UK citizens living and/or working in the EU.
Sharing my life with Europeans I personally feel this fear of the unknown, it creates an us and them situation by the inaction of the government, please move to resolve this to allow these citizens to carry on with their life's without disruption.
